The parts that I watched about Egypt weren't correct. Sirius was neither Isis nor Osiris... it was Sopdet: en.wikipedia.org...
I only mention Pike because you said to me in a PM that he believed our Blazing Star IS Sirius. (I'm not sure about that; could you provide chapter and page?)
To find in the BLAZING STAR of five points an allusion to the Divine Providence, is also fanciful; and to make it commemorative of the Star that is said to have guided the Magi, is to give it a meaning comparatively modern.
Originally it represented SIRIUS, or the Dog-star, the forerunner of the inundation of the Nile; the God ANUBIS, companion of Isis in her search for the body of OSIRIS, her brother and husband.
The Ancient Astronomers saw all the great Symbols of Masonry in the Stars. Sirius still glitters in our Lodges as the Blazing Star, (l’Etoile Flamboyante). The Sun is still symbolized by the point within a Circle
The Blazing Star in our Lodges, we have already said, represents Sirius, Anubis, or Mercury, Guardian and Guide of Souls. Our Ancient English brethren also considered it an emblem of the Sun. In the old Lectures they said: "The Blazing Star or Glory in the centre refers us to that Grand Luminary the Sun, which enlightens the Earth, and by its genial influence dispenses blessings to mankind." It is also said in those lectures to be an emblem of Prudence. The word Prudentia means, in its original and fullest signification, Foresight: and accordingly the Blazing Star has been regarded as an emblem of Omniscience, or the All-Seeing Eye, which to the Ancients was the Sun.

What importance would a binary system have in terms of spirituality?

Well, for starters...
Newgrange is famously aligned so that the rays of winter solstice sunrise enter its roof box and shine deep into the chamber. But was it also built so that the chamber could capture the light of the Dog Star (Sirius) in prehistory? And was this suggested in mythology? Anthony Murphy investigates.
Bóinn/Ethliu (as a dog) came into the Brug (Newgrange) in the form of a lapdog/dog. Only in the late Neolithic did the Dog Star shine into Newgrange. By the time the Bronze Age begins, Sirius is too high in the sky and it can no longer be seen from the chamber, by an observer who, when the alignment was working, would need to have been prostrate, on the floor, looking down along the passage through the roof box.
Anthropologically, the only civilization that it had major significance for was Egypt
God/Goddess equality. This was intended to be an archetype model to be followed. It did not happen
i think it was Santos Bonacci I was listening to a long time ago that said the Sun and SIrius take thousands of years to do orbit each other. They orbit in an eliptical pattern and as our Sun and Sirius get further away from each other human consciousness declines.

Can anyone confirm that the above videos make sense before I start watching? Because I did a YouTube search and there are several videos on his channel, each the length of a feature film.

Wave + Particle = Binary
The "Sun" is not a wave.

We are talking about the Gods here. Mythos changes as it moves through culture. Aset? Isis / Sopdet / Aset (i thought that was the original name not Sopdet as you are suggesting.
Osiris as you failed to mention also has strong connotations with Sirius. It was Osiris (which is Orion in the night sky was the king that married ISIS.)

Megalithic Temples of Malta line up with Sirius
To the Dogon is all about Sirius

The Greeks used Sirius as a time keeper. Hermes is connected to Sirius too just like Anubis)
The Egyptains used Sirus as a time keeper.
If you're talking about "Blue Star Kachina" that's a modern story. The Anasazi (not Hopi) and some other cultures may have marked Sirius' heliacal risings in medicine wheels)
The Hopi have an integrate relationship with the star
Mithras is about Sirius
Jesus of Nazareth may well be based on Siruis (Nasar) of Sirius
The Quaran defines God as Sirius
This is the star of Shinto to which there ancient temples align.
Nibiru may well be Sirius
The destiny of earth is controlled by Sirius in accordance to the Vedas.

Hi Byrd,
As you know i'm interested in the myths and legends regarding what happened after Egypt and how they have been applied to us in secret, i can show this in almost all area's of the world, please scroll down link to bottom, and you will see what happened in Texas where you come from:-

I can't go back further than the start of the Julian Calendar, because the date would have no meaning in other calendars, but the general theme of the Sothic Cycle is odd, which means i have no means to verify the chronology of Egypt, by the method explained below:-

Originally it represented SIRIUS, or the Dog-star, the forerunner of the inundation of the Nile; the God ANUBIS, companion of Isis in her search for the body of OSIRIS, her brother and husband. Then it became the image of HORUS, the son of OSIRIS, himself symbolized also by the Sun, the author of the Seasons, and the God of Time; Son of Isis, who was the universal nature, himself the primitive matter, inexhaustible source of Life, spark of uncreated fire, universal seed of all beings. It was HERMES, also, the Master of Learning, whose name in Greek is that of the God Mercury. It became the sacred and potent sign or character of the Magi, the PENTALPHA, and is the significant emblem of Liberty and Freedom, blazing with a steady radiance amid the weltering elements of good and evil of Revolutions, and promising serene skies and fertile seasons to the nations, after the storms of change and tumult.

There's a number of corrections you might want to make, including that the flag has a single star because when it was part of Mexico, the flag had two stars. Nothing to do with any particular star in the sky. Sirius has no place in the culture and I doubt that one in 500 Texans could find the star unless they happened to be into astronomy.
And Santa Anna lost because he was stupid and vain and picked the wrong encampment (against the advice of everyone) and then went off for a frolic and a nap: www.warhistoryonline.com...
These are well-known points of Texas history and well documented. The idea that a star influenced anything doesn't make much sense because that same pattern "aligns" all over the Northern hemisphere during the same time period (which isn't a single day.) We'd see it up in Dallas, and we'd even see it in Oklahoma or New Mexico or Alabama or Kentucky.

There's hundreds of years of work on the dating of ancient Egypt and many dates are fairly reliable or reliable within 2-10 years. This includes cross-checking with other cultures. I noted briefly that you cite Manetho, who is considered only a starting point... as are the kings lists. The dating of Egypt goes far beyond those resources and includes documentary evidence and correspondence with other kings and dendrochronology and more. It wasn't just a puzzle with a few kings lists and Manetho.
